Mão Morta – Mão Morta

Mão Morta is the debut album by the Portuguese band of the same name, released in 1988, marking the start of a career that quickly became iconic within the national alternative rock scene.

The record delivers an intense and experimental sound, with sharp guitars, dense rhythms, and the dramatic, theatrical vocals of Adolfo Luxúria Canibal. Lyrics rich in irony, social critique, and urban poetry give the album a distinct identity, exploring dark and rebellious themes. Mão Morta laid the foundation for the band’s artistic universe, capturing the energy and unrest of a generation seeking new directions in Portuguese rock.
